Look, what you guys absolutely have to do is stop bringing up Bourne in this thread—it honestly has zero connection to The Italian Job or anything else in that genre.
I don't know, man—I just can't get into Sandler. He’s totally lost his touch for me and honestly, I don't find him funny at all anymore. But hey, if that's your kind of humor, more power to you...
To be completely honest, I don't really get why there's such massive pushback and overwhelming conservatism whenever people suggest making changes to the rules of soccer.
Roger Torres9, it was the exact same thing during the gold medal match at the recent Olympics. The ref had to pause the game twice just so the players could get a breather from that brutal heat. If you ask me, it’s totally fine—player safety matters way more than some arbitrary "momentum" or "pressure." Honestly, forget all that talk about club pressure or whatever people say about California or the Volunteers...

Me neither. Honestly, I wish they had just made a feature-length animated movie using that classic animation style from the original Clone Wars series. I’m really not feeling this 3D stuff—it just feels hollow to me. It lacks soul, it lacks character, and it just doesn't have that same life to it.
Frank Moore4 said:You can basically look at the Clone Wars film and the upcoming series this fall as a remake and an expansion of the original Clone Wars series. So, it's going to be bigger and better. 🙂
Mozda Bigger, sure—but "Better"? I'm just not seeing it. To me, this feels like one of those unnecessary 3D gimmicks. Honestly, the original Clone Wars animation was fantastic, and I don't even know how to put into words how much I absolutely loathe 3D.
How does this actually stack up against the critics of Clone Wars over at Cartoon Network? (I’ve watched everything, and if you ask me, it was absolutely top-tier)
wearyraven41 said:I honestly think people lose way more on that than they gain—which is probably why you don't see anyone actually jumping in... The real payoff is about boosting the country's profile, but there just isn't any direct profit to be made...
Look, the tracks that actually get built are managed by real professionals who are working year-round—and I guarantee you they have a solid financial model behind them. Otherwise, none of these venues would even exist in the first place..
We actually have a track out in the Appalachian Mountains that used to be part of that whole series—but honestly, nobody in this country seems interested in actually making a profit off it anymore. It’s just a joke, really... nothing else to say about it.
I honestly don't get why so many people here still act confused about this—or rather, they *act* like they don't get it just to be difficult—but the fact remains that Hitler and Pavelić were taken down by a combined force of Uncle Sam, Comrade Stalin, and Comrade Marshall. Since Comrade Stalin and Comrade Marshall were never actually defeated by anyone, what kind of official policy should the West or the East even have regarding them, other than what we see today? You can think whatever you want about communism, really, but it wasn't defeated on a battlefield. Society eventually and relatively peacefully moved away from that socio-economic model, and frankly, it’s a good thing we did. Nazism, on the other hand, was crushed in a bloody, horrific war, so in my eyes, banning Nazi symbols is perfectly logical and absolutely right.
Honestly, the internet is absolutely flooded with streams these days anyway. Besides, the race isn't even scheduled during our big game, so there won't be any conflict. You can just catch the intense action live—and let's be real, you'll probably end up ignoring the German drivers entirely to focus on Formula 1.
It's going to be a Kimi Räikkönen win; this race is shaping up to be pretty dull. Our only real hope is Felipe Massa.
I swear, I’m more terrified of getting blood drawn than anything else in this world—I guess everyone has that one thing they just can't shake, right? I get a bit dizzy with heights sometimes too, but this needle phobia? It’s on a whole different level. It’s the whole sensory overload of it all... that sterile, clinical smell of the clinic, the way they wipe your skin with alcohol, the feeling of the tourniquet tightening around your arm, and then... the poke. Honestly, I just had to go run outside and catch my breath—I actually got the chills just thinking about it again 😉
rustystag7 said:I mean, yeah, but if you take a step back and look at the big picture—it just comes off as incredibly arrogant, doesn't it? Look, I get that they weren't pushing at absolute maximum capacity today—I really do—but honestly, it feels kind of silly to make such big claims based on this. It’s just too early to call it. If Mercedes decides to tweak one tiny little thing tomorrow and finds even a minuscule bit of extra pace, the whole narrative shifts instantly. You know how this goes—one small adjustment and suddenly everything you thought you knew is out the window. 🤷
Look, speaking purely from my perspective as a driver—and I mean this sincerely—I would never dream of saying something like that on track. It’s one thing to talk strategy, but it’s another thing entirely to act like it. And honestly? There's a whole different level of complexity when you consider that Felipe Massa isn't even allowed to get into a real fight with Kimi Raikkonen, let alone wanting to—it's just not an option for him.
And I’m not even saying this as a die-hard Felipe Massa fan—I'm just looking at the facts here. I was watching yesterday and his start was absolutely brilliant; he actually had a real shot at making some serious moves. Honestly, Kimi could have pulled off something great too, but instead, Massa is just sitting there hugging the side of the track like a total idiot. It's frustrating to watch when you see that much potential just being wasted by such cautious driving.
Maybe Ferrari is just terrified of repeating last year's absolute disaster—they're probably so scared of screwing up again that they’re sticking to this "first one out the gate wins it all" mentality. It's like they've decided if they can just hold onto that lead from the start, they won't have to worry about anything else. Just grab the lead and pray!🤷
Where else could things go wrong? Seriously, look at the risks here... If Heikki Kovalainen hits the barrier and ends up with a serious injury, Merdjo would be forced to hunt for a replacement driver immediately. And just like that—boom—the Constructors' Championship title slips right through our fingers.
rowdytinker3 said:that was a brutally boring race☕.. plus I have this feeling this whole season is just going to be a series of routine drives by Kimi, who'll probably cruise to the championship without breaking much of a sweat☕
Don't say that—good old David Coulthard made sure we at least got one collision on track to keep things interesting.
Judging by that trailer, this movie looks absolutely terrible—I’m going to do everything in my power to make sure I don't end up watching it anytime soon. It's honestly the same way I feel about the movie XxX; I still haven't sat down to watch it, and at this rate, I really hope I never do.
